Rototom Sunsplash — Europe’s largest and most celebrated reggae festival — has announced what many industry insiders are already calling the strongest lineup in the Spanish event’s 31-year history. The festival, held annually in Benicàssim, Spain, will take place in late August 2026 and will feature headliners spanning every dimension of reggae and related Caribbean music.
The lineup announcement on March 18 confirmed the attendance of artists across multiple generations and styles — from roots reggae pioneers to contemporary dancehall stars, Afrobeats crossover artists, and the new wave of conscious roots performers who have revitalized the genre over the past decade. The festival’s famous Reggae University sessions, panel discussions, and activism programming also return with an expanded schedule.
Rototom Sunsplash has long been a cornerstone of Europe’s reggae scene, attracting hundreds of thousands of attendees from across the continent and beyond each year. The 2026 edition is expected to set new attendance records and has already generated significant advance ticket sales.
